As someone who has spent hundreds of dollars on blackout curtains (and sticking electrical tape on every LED in the house), I'd be happy to buy an apartment where few of the rooms have natural light. I know bedrooms have to have windows so the fire department can pull you out of a burning building while you're asleep or whatever, but personally, I am not a fan of the noise and light most of the time.

I just think there is so much space that you can use in a residential setting without natural light. Your movie room. Your bedroom if you feel like not following The Law as to where they're allowed to be. All your 3D printers and other maker activities. If it's space that nobody wants, I'd personally buy it at a discount if it were offered to me.
> The last thing I think of when choosing a place to live are the societal implications of it.

I think this is part of the issue of rising housing costs. People not considering how their decisions impact their wider world. And paradoxically, I suspect many people buy property in cities because (a) others are doing it and (b) the fear of not doing it early enough (the costs are "only going to continue to rise"). Two reasons that are societally driven.
People have complained about why Logic Pro / Final Cut wasn't ported to the iPad Pro line. The obvious answer is that making workflows done properly take time.
It's the number of homes occupied by their owner. The number of people/households who own their home is lower, since many homes are occupied by their owner plus others.
Insanely over-saturated but almost all AAA games are extremely derivative, stale, bland games with a coat of pretty graphics...

People have been saying this for decades at this point. I'm not seeing it.

Innovation is largely overrated. It can be a good thing, but the vast majority of games, whether AAA or indie, can't be truly innovative. And innovative doesn't translate directly to a game being enjoyable. Conversely, a game being "derivative" doesn't automatically make the game not fun to play.
For my beginner programming class, I have them use a script `compile` which handles compilation and linking, while also enabling enabling all the warnings/errors I think are helpful, and also doing the above redirection. An absolute beginner doesn't gain anything from invoking `g++` directly.
Apple might use simplified and opaque plots to drive their point, but they all too often undersell the differences. Indepedent reviews for example find that they not just hit the mark Apple mentions for things like battery but that often do slightly better...

But you wouldn't be required to use it, just erase how you do now. I would love for this and for it to be customizable. It could be used to become a highlighter/selector tool or some other concept that we don't know yet. Adding in more features to a pencil and ones that mimic and improve on old analog equivalents sounds exactly like that kind of improvements I would like to see.
I saw a picture of one of those giant suburban developments in Texas... like thousands of cookie cutter homes over a huge area. But I'm sure you could provide the same amount of living space and better amenities in a focused apartment building. There should be schools and restaurants and shops etc spread out over every floor. Or maybe like a 90's shopping mall with a 30 story apartment building on top. It just makes sense to me.
I can only speak to my own personal experience, but I was a voracious reader as a child and then sorta just... stopped. The longer life went on, the more I was instructed to ignore or hide my personal feelings and so I just didn't find the characters in the books for my age group, who were largely written by women, to be relatable. There was as large a stretch between the main characters' behavior and what I was taught to do as there was between the real world and Mount Doom. I devoured the entire non-fiction section at my library in the historical and scientific sections by the time I was 10, and then just stopped going because there wasn't a point. None of the books were for me.

I've made attempts to get back into reading from time to time, but I always go into the more rigorous non-fiction areas. I picked up a Brandon Sanderson book and wanted to throw the damned thing against a wall because of how juvenile the narration was. It felt like a very poor apeing of HHTG or Discworld narration without any of the wit.
I feel the opposite way, at least from the point of view of absorbing information. I often have a hard time with podcasts and often youtube videos because I feel I could have read the info there in a few minutes vs watching/listening to something for much longer
People on the internet expect everything to be spoonfed to them.
Unpopular opinion here but Apple’s approach to environmental stuff is more right than wrong. The biggest environmental impact of devices are in the manufacturing and disposel of them. At Apple’s scale all of the things they do add up. Their use of recycled materials, elimination of certain more toxic materials, and even just making lighter products and packaging all help. At a minimum, those efforts are better than not having them and seem to be more than any other manufacturer is willing to do. Apple has set a goal to have a closed production loop, using only materials that they have recycled from older ones. That’s really ambitious and I doubt they’ll get there 100% but once again, what other company is even trying that?

Usually the only thing people can point to for Apple not being as green as they’d like is the repairability of the products. I’m willing to bet that whatever additional waste that is created by that is more than offset by having devices that last longer. Devices that require fewer repairs and have good software support allows either you, or whoever gets your old devices, to keep using the same device for longer. Every device has a lifecycle, making it as long as possible is the best way to avoid environmental impacts.
Well, maybe. The screen (and specifically the backlight) is a big drain. Smaller screen = less drain.
Mamba-360: Survey of State Space Models as Transformer Alternative
My doctor recommended cold brew for lower acidity, because hot brew is bothering me. Cold brew is just a brewing process and has nothing to do with serving temperature. Cold brew has never meant served cold. So what, exactly, is ridiculous about warming up cold brewed coffee? I like my coffee hot, like a lot of people, and I’d like it if I can keep drinking coffee and don’t have to stop due to the acidity.

>Humans have those exact same constraints. For the longest time we could only speculate what the dark side of the moon looked like, for instance.

That isn't the exact same constraint. We could speculate that the moon had a "dark side," because we understood what a moon was, and what a sphere was. LLMs cannot speculate about things outside of their existing data model, at all.

>When we talk about things we don't understand we speak gibberish, just like LLMs.

No we don't, wtf? We may create inaccurate models or theories, but we don't just chain together random strings of words the way LLMs do.
No, it was just always a meaningless term...
Bethesda is also notorious for taking forever to make Elder Scrolls games. Skyrim came out in 2011 and has not had a proper sequel since. First-person RPG also isn't exactly a glutted sub-genre. Neither of the examples fit the phenomenon they're talking about!

Yes, it's basic consumer protection. Historically, ordinary people have been taken to the cleaners by bad actors taking advantage of their lack of expertise in high-risk investing.
And yet they seem to be the only people picking the apparently "Low Hanging Fruit" in ARM land. We'll see about Qualcomm's Nuvia-based stuff, but that's been "nearly released" for what feels like years now, but you still can't buy one to actually test.

And don't underestimate the investment Apple made - it's likely at a similar level to the big x86 incumbents. I mean AMD's entire Zen development team cost was likely a blip on the balance sheet for Apple.

Some troubleshooting tips:

- Move your mouse cursor to the "Zed Industries" icon in the upper-left-hand-corner, then click.

- This "hypertext link" will instruct your browser to load the site's root "index.html", sometimes known as a "landing page".

- The "landing page" is a great place to start if you're unfamiliar with a site or product! Here, you'll find the following text prominently displayed:

"Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. It's also open source."

Hope this helps!
When you're in a situation where you incur heavy charges for "selling your house and buying it back" (or selling it and buying the identical one next door) beyond the 5-10% you lose in transaction costs, you're basically going to stay put.

There are ways to avoid some of the downsides, but they involve additional risks many are not willing to take. The most common is to rent out the house you're living in (the "good location" one) and use the proceeds from the rental to both pay the mortgage and help with a new purchase elsewhere. Then you're effectively running arbitrage on your low rate loan.

A few months ago Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast had an episode on this:

> Big cities like New York have two real estate problems. Housing is scarce and office buildings are empty (or at least under-utilized.) So there would seem to be an obvious solution: turn the offices into homes. And indeed there has been a lot of talk lately about "office-to-resi" conversions. But it's very hard, for a wide variety of reasons. Zoning, financing, and then, of course, the operational aspects of the construction all need to be in place. So what does it take? On this episode, we speak with Joey Chilelli, managing director at the Vanbarton Group, a firm that's been involved with these projects for a decade and long before the pandemic upended both real estate markets. We discuss the challenges involved in actually pulling off these complex projects.

Where I live it goes crazy with road works when it's coming to the end of the year with the council trying to spend the unused budget rather than lose it.
I'm still trying to interpret the recommendations regarding security and this new v2 option. The blog post makes statements like, "For secrets, we need something different." and then goes into detail about cryptographic randomness, ChaCha8, and how it is seeded with system randomness. It gives the impression of being very "secure". But then the package docs state:

>... but it should not be used for security-sensitive work ... This package's outputs might be easily predictable regardless of how it's seeded. For random numbers suitable for security-sensitive work, see the crypto/rand package.

If that's the case, then why hint at using math/rand/v2 "for secrets" in the blog post? Is the short version that we should all still use "crypto/rand" for anything sensitive, and all of the improvements described here are a safety net should someone inappropriately use math/rand/v2?
I am of the mindset that the fully tricked out apple models are for two groups nearly exclusively:

1) People who want to show off that money is no issue to them

2) Creative Firms with huge budgets for Apple gear.

From reading reviews of Dav Pilkey's books in Goodreads I didn't see anything like you describe, is it getting banned by the same fundamentalist Christian parents attacking public libraries in the USA or something?

Reviews are pretty good, most books hover on 4+ ratings.
AAA basically just means nice graphics at this point. You can't dump more money into a piece of art to make it better, that's why all the innovation comes from indie games. Look at Balatro, a guy made a poker roguelike and became a millionaire overnight. I think if big game studios, rather than dumping their copious amounts of money into single, giant-scope games, dealt it out amongst a variety of smaller teams for smaller-scoped projects, they'd be way better off.

Everyone keeps suggesting AI NPCs. I'm sure someone's gonna take a crack at it and it'll go about as well the Humane AI pin or the Rabbit R1 before everyone realized how horrible of an idea it is. If anything it'll make for a silly novelty like the VR games where you clumsily try to perform basic tasks with VR motion controls. But in this case you argue with an in-game LLM and see how quickly you can make it get defensive or start gaslighting you with made up facts about household cleaners you can combine to make a delicious cocktail.
This info is much more useful than a comparison to restaurants.
What's wrong with DIMM?
It's a network effect. The jobs, dating scenes, and opportunities for career advancement are in big cities. This has always been true to some extent but the trend seems to have accelerated in the 21st century.

There is plenty of land and housing in most places outside these cities.

There are two solutions. The individual solution is to go to these cities, get what you want, then leave and settle somewhere more reasonably priced. In some cases you might be able to skip this step if you're in a field that allows telework. I would personally recommend: once you career is established enough that you can get a good job in lots of places, don't stay in these cities unless you can comfortably afford housing. Comfortably means ideally 30% of your income goes to housing. If you stretch and spend absurd percentages of your income on housing you'll be house-poor and will never be able to accumulate wealth. It's even worse if you are renting or on a variable rate mortgage.

The collective/societal solution is that we need to massively increase the density of these cities and improve their infrastructure, but that will in many places require going to war against the NIMBY obstructionists.
The subprime crisis is why there is a lack of supply. Home construction cratered for years after the 2007-8 shock. When recovery took hold, we had a enormous deficit in available supply and are nowhere near closing it.

Yes, both things exist. But the Google issue being discussed is not about being in a highly-regulated industry, it's about reasonably anticipated litigation where they had actual notice of an investigation of particular issues with the potential for litigation, and even an explicit notice that this triggered a requirement to preserve all relevant communication and documents, and there specific actions with that knowledge.

I really don't understand why they would shutter Tango, a small / low cost house producing influential art that people actually want, while behemoths that burn cash and produce soulless products that no one wants survive.

Shut down Bethesda, they're the ones with awful gameplay and writing. Don't shut down the darlings.
It’s an iPad event and there were no M3 iPads.

That’s all. They’re trying to convince iPad users to upgrade.

We’ll see what they do when they get to computers later this year.
No offense to GP, but GP made me wonder if the creative side of the story is just a massive fluff to hide the fact that iPad are built for consultancy tasks first. Having to resort to a premium creator product because your job demands it sounds like an awesome justification for buying a tablet.
In a world concerned with climate change, we should see many of these 'appliances' as inherently wasteful.

On top of the ugly reality that they're designed to become e-waste as soon as the battery degrades.
And yet here we are where a fantastically successful mid budget game published on to gamepass by a first party studio leading to huge excitement in gamepass is not enough to justify the continued existence of the studio which produced it.
RIP SEGA - can't say that sticking with their arcade minded strategy paid off more than if they had stuck with hardware, but I am skeptical.
Yes. The major reason for cold brewing coffee (or tea!) over simply cooling and icing hot brew is that you extract a different mix of compounds from the bean (or leaf) due to different chemicals having different levels of solubility at different temperatures.

Serving temperature affects flavor, too, of course. Darn near everything does.

See, for example: https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/9/7/902
Tastes good to me. It is like regular coffee, just lower acidity, which is what I need. I want it to taste the same as regular coffee! ;) To be fair, it usually tastes milder than how brewed coffee, and this is one of the things people like about cold brew.
Why buy a nice suburban home and invest in your future when you could instead live in a windowless former office building with hundreds of other families?
I think it is popular but not growing as fast as Microsoft would have hoped. When I talk to some of my friends about it they don't seem to realize how deep the catalog is and just buy games that they could have played on GamePass, but most of those games are third party games that happen to be on GamePass.

The Xbox brand issue at this point is a lack of quality first party games. They can never seem to nail a release. Even when a game is pretty good there is a caveat.

- Halo Infinite was pretty good, but buggy and they struggled to release new content.
- Starfield is Bethesda's most ambitious game yet with the best combat, graphics and polish from the studio to date, but the exploration loop that defines their games is broken by interplanetary travel. It is still pretty good, but just not what it should have been.
- Forza Motorsport launched buggy and while technically proficient is perhaps of the most joyless games I have ever played.
- Redfall was hyped as a first party release and is absolutely mid

I do think that both the Xbox and PlayStation brands have put themselves in strange positions strategically. People buy consoles to play certain games and if you know that you can play those games on PC (eventually) why would you ever buy a PlayStation or Xbox?
hopefully at least electronics recycling.
Anyone got a link that isn't paywalled? Archive.org is still blocked.
Even still having Toyota around is great because they are absolutely killing it (Americans want hybrids because you can't plug in a car so easily if you live in the big city, live in an apartment, etc).

You mean pressure from regulators, surely. Because 99% of consumers will not notice or know the difference in a spec sheet.
For reference. The llama.cpp people are not going smaller. Most of those models run on 32 bit floats with the dequantization happening on the fly.
Remember that Haswell laptops were the last to feature socketed CPUs.

RAM is nice to upgrade, for sure. As well as an SSD, but CPUs are still a must. I would even suggest upgradeable GPUs but I don't think the money is there for the manufacturers. Why allow you to upgrade when you can buy a whole new laptop?
I'm also a fan of the TUI from Qbasic, it also appeared in Microsoft Works for DOS, Microsoft Word for DOS and probably other places.

The UI was refered to as COW character oriented windows. It would be good if it could be open sourced, for historical reference.

There were other interesting TUIs, the one in Defrag in DOS, and the Antivirus would change characters on the fly to generate a mouse cursor.

The TUI in DOSSHELL.exe would use customise some characters to draw icons.

Maybe Scott Hanselman could be persuaded to work on open sourcing all the COW apps.

(Honarable mention for EDIT in DOS7, which appears to be a rewrite, supporting long filenames).

In the modern era, there is YEdit from the author of YCmd, which implements a similar looking UI, in Windows http://www.malsmith.net/edit/

Some other TUIs of note included the ones in Wordperfect, Norton Utilities, and of course TurboVision (though the last has implementations in modern environments).
But why do you even need a distro to begin with just to ship certain software set? Install Arch/Gentoo and install whatever is your preferred software of choice, or hell, you can even do that on any other distro.
I’ve got an iPad mini. The main issue is the screen scratches. The other main issue is the screen is like a mirror, so it can’t be used everywhere to watch videos (which is the main thing the iPad is useful for). The third main issue is that videos nowadays are way too dark and you can’t adjust brightness/gamma on the iPad to compensate.

(Notice a theme?)
Carbon neutral never really meant anything anyway.

And Apple's "Green" talk is just theater (well, just like everybody elses in tech, fashion, cars, etc).

Their whole business lies in making and selling more stuff, and getting people to replace them often with shiny new ones.
I don't understand the fluff about thin devices. I bought an iPad air a few years back and every time I picked it up the screen warped and I could see my fingers pressing through the back. I got a case for it thinking that'd help but I could still see it happen if I pressed hard enough. Returned immediately for the iPad Pro. I can't help but expect this would have similar problems AND it's Pro priced.
They have always done this, for some reason people buy it anyway, so they have no incentive to stop doing it.
